History (Fictional)
Jingdaoese Period
Before the Florian Republic was founded. The people of Jingdao inhabited the area and much violence and natural disasters occurred in the area and the Jingdaoese suddenly fled of what is now the modern Florian Republic. The land of the now Florian Republic became barren and people left in the area were stranded from outside world for many years. A short war occurred soon afterwards as order between the factions in the land was disrupted.Many people fled and immigrated into neighbouring Jingdao. Violence was reduced but tensions were still hostile with each faction. The area had no sign of hope.
Creation of the Florian Republic
On the 16th July 2017, A leader of the Labour Faction, Edwin Farrar proposed a plan to create a new state called the Florian Republic. The name originating from the vast rare range of flora in the area. All factions attended the meeting to establish the nation and all factions agreed for the new nation to be created as long as each faction had a fair representation in Parliament. The nation then submitted a bid for international recognition and it was accepted.
Government and Politics

Members of each party are elected into Parliament, which currently has only one house. There is a total of 500 MP's which are split into 125 for each region.
